Edamame

A friend just asked me how to prepare edamame. I had some tonight (pictured at right, with my ginger glazed mahi mahi), but it was using some steamer packets in the microwave from the frozen food section :) Here's how to do it the old fashioned way:

-Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the uncooked edamame
-boil some water
-dump the edamame in
-boil for 3 or 4 minutes
-drain in a colander
-spread out to cool & serve as is.

Just squeeze the beans out of the pods at the table.
